I dunno, guys...I think the lyrics and vocals are amazing...I mean, it's rock-n-roll, you can't take it TOO seriously!

Yours truly,

Honestly, I think Peart grew into a fairly good lyricst in the late 80's early 90's but I only know one other Rush fan who doesn't hate those albums because of how they sound. Some weird redneck reaction to synths that I've never understood.

I agree the over all production on those albums is harsh but sheesh.

I listen to him once every two or three years, just to help keep the lunatic fringe located . . . oh. Wait. Not that Rush. Frequency-of-listening is about the same. Reasons—and reactions—are very different.

i liked rush a lot in high school (from 1976-1980), and then i was engaged to a guy who was in a rush cover band. he dumped me for the married singer in the band. so .. no. i don't really care for rush anymore.

I found Limbaugh entertaining during the first Clinton term - after tha, - I found the band to be inspiring up until Presto - then, we amicably parted ways.
